Another way to look at it... perhaps those puffy gloves saved Judah seeing as how he took about 100 punches more than Floyd, and his chin has been suspect in the past. Maybe those gloves allowed Judah to finish the fight a little lumpy, rather than dancing about the ring with his wobbly legs.

People need to drop it... it was a decisive win. Judah was only in the fight until Mayweather figured him out. It wasn't gloves, or a 10th round brawl. It was Judah being outclassed by the better man. Judah even admitted that the better man won.

Just acknowledge that Judah was outdone... and hope for a rematch. Since you feel Judah is better, Judah will clearly dominate Floyd in the rematch.

Judah came with a game plan, Floyd figured it out and retaliated, Judah could not answer, he retreated into survival mode, and then into desperation mode with a punch to the balls. A champion makes adjustments. Things don't go the champs way from the openning bell everytime. But by the end of the fight, the champ has adjusted and taken control of the fight, and as a result secured the win.
If anything, the winnings gloves had less padding around the knuckles. Think about it. They are twice as big as Judah's gloves, yet way the same. So all that weight and padding has to spread out along a much larger surface, thus making them actually lighter around the fist, and possibly packing more of a punch. One thing is for sure, they certainly aided in Floyd's defense.
